In today's day, an age in which technology advances ever further into our homes and pockets, the traditions, culture and, in subsequence, the very history of our rural towns and communities may be lost in this technological
transition. Red Ridge, an organisation that works with said rural communities, strives to protect the historical importance and culture of Australia's small towns and, of course, the people that live within them.

In doing so, Red Ridge hopes to prolong the stories and narratives of community elders, encourage the passing of traditional skills, help form vital relationships within the community and, in consequence, protect what makes
Australia, to put it simply, Australia. Lost Art, a project hosted by Red Ridge, encompasses these goals in the hopes of empowering the values and traditions of local people.

Looking for Tucker is the first storybook in Wangkangurru, the language of the Wangkangurru/Yarluyandi people. With support from Red Ridge (Interior Queensland) it
continues the trailblazing work of the Two Sisters Talking, as they work to promote and share their culture and language through art and stories.
